How to Add Cross-Chain Swaps to Your dApp in Under 10 Lines of Code with Wormhole Connect

Building a multi-chain dApp is complex. Managing liquidity and user experience across different networks is a major hurdle. The Wormhole Developer Platform solves this with Wormhole Connect, a plug-and-play widget for cross-chain swaps. This guide shows you how easy a Wormhole Connect Integration is.

The Problem: Fragmented User Experience
If your dApp is on Polygon but your user's assets are on Solana, you lose them. You're forcing them to go to an external bridge, a process that is slow, confusing, and risky.

The Solution: A Drop-in Bridge UI
Wormhole Connect is a single React component that provides a fully-featured bridging interface for your users directly within your application. It handles all the complexity of the underlying Wormhole Cross-Chain Messaging protocol.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to use Wormhole
Install the Package:

bash
npm install @wormhole-foundation/wormhole-connect
Import and Configure: In your React application, import the component. You can configure it with custom themes and settings.

Render the Component: Add the Wormhole Connect component to your application's UI.

Example Implementation:

JavaScript
import WormholeConnect from '@wormhole-foundation/wormhole-connect';

function MyAwesomeDApp() {
return (


My App


Bridge assets without leaving!




);
}
That's it. You now have a powerful, secure bridge powered by the Wormhole Guardian Network running inside your dApp. Users never have to leave your site, creating a seamless multi-chain experience.
